     $ java -jar project-checkup-0.1.4.jar
 
+## Compiling
+
+Creating the JAR is as simple as doing `lein uberjar` (you probably want to use
+the standalone version). 
+
+If you want to create a binary using Graal, download Graal and run the 
+following:
+
+    $ path/to/graal/native-image -jar path/to/jar -H:+ReportUnsupportedElementsAtRuntime --no-server
+
+You can run tests using `lein test`.
